Zutshi said she was heading towards Sarabha Nagar on a cycle rickshaw where she had parked her car. As the rickshaw took a turn from Ferozepur road towards Hotel Le Baron, two motorcycle-borne appeared on the scene. The pillion rider pounced on the purse of Zutshi, who resisted the attack without success and the miscreants fled the spot with her purse.

Zutshi immediately sounded the Sarabha Nagar police. Sarabha Nagar SHO Mandeep Singh said a case had been registered and efforts were on to nab the snatchers.
